What is your ancestry?

My dad's side is 100% Ukrainian, his mother and father both moved from Ukraine to America, and the rest of his family was born there too. My mothers side consists of Polish and Greek.
 
Irish, French-Canadian(not sure if true) and Belgium on my mother's side, German and Polish on my father's side. That's all I know from asking relatives and my parents, but I'd really like to do a DNA test.
 
Grandfather on my mother's side was British and married a German following immediately after WWII. Did not end well with his family so they came to the US in the 1950's.
On my father's side, I think it's either my great grandmother or grandfather that was Portuguese who then immigrated to the US in the 1920's.

So basically I'm the most pasty white fucking person on the planet. I don't tan. I burn.

Wonderbread has more color to it than my own skin.
 
Burgerlander consisting of white and Asian. All I know for sure is one parent of mine being from the Philippines, the other at least descended from a man from the land of sauerkraut and lederhosen.

Cajun and Choctaw.
Oh shit it's the Indian outlaw! Still banging that Chippewa?

We recently discovered my grandmother on my dad's side was abducted from real real parents as a babby so now we've gone from "whole lotta everything including Africa" to "whole lotta unknown but still everything including Africa". My ancestors got around so much I'm probably 1/20th related to everyone here.

Mais no, she lives up north, her. It's cold cold in Leafland.

More seriously, most of Acadiana is related in some way so I get that. You could always do the 23andme or one of the other tests. Mine didn't find anything unexpected.

My aunt and grandad decided to do it, that is how we found all this insanity out. Lifetime movie of the week when?

That's pretty crazy! I read a story about one lady who believed herself to be full Irish descent and did the test to find more relatives. Turned out that her dad was Ashkenazi Jewish and was accidentally switched at birth with the child of an Irish family. Some family members of the Jewish family had done the tests as well and were confused by the Irish results from the "Jewish" guy's grown kids, and got into contact with them. They were able to piece it together and figure out what happened.

Genetics are a fun ride when you start getting into them.
